Bushnell Match Pro ED: High Performance Optic

The optic you mount on your rifle can make or break it. Using the wrong glass can easily lead to things like not having enough adjustment available when you need it, loss of focus at greater distances, and poor light gathering. That’s where the team at Bushnell comes in with the Match Pro ED 5-30×56, a riflescope designed for excellence. This optic is made for dedicated shooters in need of a professional-quality scope, and according to Bushnell, it delivers.

According to Bushnell, this riflescope is the enhanced version of the original Match Pro. The entire scope is optimized to meet the needs of developing and experienced long-range shooters, offering them premium optical performance and a bevy of useful features. The company states this scope can do it all whether it’s used by hardcore rimfire shooters or precision long-range competitors.

This riflescope is built around an ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) Prime 56mm objective with EXO Barrier coating so it’s better able to withstand the elements, and also resistant to wear and tear. The glass is designed to deliver every bit of clarity and sharpness possible without sacrificing other details.

The magnification ratio has been increased in this ED model to provide versatility. It has a range of 5x to 30x with the main tube diameter increased to 34mm diameter in order to realize a 103 MOA elevation range (which is undeniably impressive). The turrets of the scope now lock, which is vital for its ability to maintain zero even when being bumped and jostled, and the elevation turret has an integral Easy Set zero stop. There’s also a two-stage pop-up rev-indicator. Basically, there are endless features offered, each one offering something practical and useful to the optic.
